  • Patent number: 10148674
    Abstract: An information handling system includes an input and a processor. The processor receives a sequence of events, detects a first event within the sequence of events, determines a first state of a Markov model associated with the first event, detects a second event within the sequence of events, determines a second state of the Markov model associated with the second event, detects a state transition from the first state to the second state in the Markov model, determines a partial match of the sequence of events to a kill sequence of events in response to the state transition from the first state to the second state in the Markov model, and logs all events that occurred in the information handling system in between the first event and the second event.

  • Patent number: 10122691
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a receiving apparatus for preprocessing at least one segment data packet to a data packet. The receiving apparatus includes a packet parser, a data memory, a decrypt engine, a transmission engine, a header processing unit and a controller. The packet parser fetches segment-packet-header information from a segment packet header of each segment data packet. The decrypt engine decrypts an encrypted data of each segment data packet to obtain a segment payload and a QUIC private header including sequence information. The transmission engine transmits the segment payload to a specific location of a system memory. The header processing unit calculates packet information and updates the segment packet header stored in the data memory to generate a packet header. The controller controls the transmission engine based on the sequence information to output the packet header to the system memory for generating the data packet.

  • Patent number: 10121009
    Abstract: A testing system for testing computer system security includes control logic interposed between tester computers and a computer system under test. Tester computers are used by testers to test for security vulnerabilities of the computer system under test. A test results database contains records of tester interactions with the computer system under test and responses of the computer system under test to the tester interactions. A test mark database, coupled to the control logic, contains records related to granular elements of the computer system under test that are amenable to being tested for security vulnerabilities. Records of the test mark database indicate whether a corresponding granular element has been tested for security vulnerabilities. A coverage application, coupled to the test mark database, inputs data from the test mark database and outputs data indicating which granular elements of the computer system under test are to be tested.

  • Patent number: 10097521
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a system that facilitates efficient and transparent encryption of packets between a client computing device and a content producing device. During operation, the system receives, by a content producing device, an interest packet that includes a masked name which corresponds to an original name, wherein the original name is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level. The system obtains the original name based on the masked name. The system computes a symmetric key based on the original name and a generated nonce. The system generates a content object packet that corresponds to the original name and includes the masked name, the nonce, and a payload encrypted based on the symmetric key, wherein the content object packet is received by a client computing device.

  • Patent number: 10084754
    Abstract: Aggregating traffic over multiple VPN connections is described. A first Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is established between a client device and a first VPN server via a a first access network of the client device. A second Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is established between the client device and a second VPN server via a second access network of the client device. Application traffic associated with a connection between an application server and a client application that corresponds to the client device is received. The application traffic associated with the connection between the application server and the client application is distributed between at least the first VPN connection and the second VPN connection.

  • Patent number: 10037220
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for facilitating a software-defined networking (SDN) communication in a container-based networked computing environment. In an embodiment, a SDN policy agent is created in the container-based networked computing environment. This SDN policy agent is created as a container virtual machine (VM) in the container-based networked computing environment. When a request is made by a VM to establish a SDN connection with the SDN controller for the server, the SDN controller forwards the request to the SDN policy agent. The SDN policy agent is responsible for determining whether the VM is eligible to establish the connection. If the SDN policy agent determines that the VM is eligible, the VM is allowed to become part of the SDN network.

  • Patent number: 10033712
    Abstract: A processing system periodically configures a beacon code and random nonce to transmit to a beacon device at a location. Multiple users enter the location with associated user computing devices. The user computing devices retransmit the beacon code broadcasted by the beacon device to the processing system. A particular user initiates a transaction at a computing device at the location, which transmits to the processing system a request for account data and retransmits the beacon code and a random nonce. The processing system verifies the beacon code and random nonce and transmits, to the computing device at the location, user account identifiers associated with user computing devices that retransmitted the beacon code. The processing system receives a selection of the user identifier from the merchant point of sale device and transmits account information to the computing device at the location.

  • Patent number: 9992179
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of mail encryption gateways and a router. Each mail encryption gateway encrypts email according to an encryption policy of a customer. The router stores a plurality of sender policy framework (SPF) records. The router also receives an email and compares a source IP address of the email with the plurality of SPF records. The router determines that the source IP address corresponds to an SPF record of the plurality of SPF records and in response to that determination, determines that a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol From Field of the email comprises a domain of a cloud provider corresponding to the SPF record. In response to that determination, the router determines that a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension From Field of the email comprises a domain of a customer and in response to that determination, routes the email to a mail encryption gateway.

  • Patent number: 9966700
    Abstract: An integrated data and security cable couples to a portable information handling system with pins engaged at pin guides formed in the system housing on opposing sides of a data port. At least one pin selectively locks and unlocks in the pin guide to secure the system to a fixture, such as a desktop. The locking pin releases from the cable side with a key or combination or, alternatively, releases from the information handling system, such as under control of an embedded controller or other security system.
